My First Rejection Letter
A couple of weeks ago I submitted work for a gallery show here in San Francisco. It was my first time doing something like this. Yesterday, this arrived in my inbox…
Dear Paul,
Thank you so much for submitting your work to the Our World juried exhibition competition. Seventy five artists submitted work for this exhibition and last week our panel of experts (Linda Conner, Thom Sempere and Anne Birle Veh) made their final decision. Unfortunately your work was not selected for this exhibition. We want to sincerely thank you for your interest and let you know how much we appreciate the time and energy you spent creating your submission materials.
We hope that you will come by and see the exhibition during the course of its run, July 12 – September 21, or join us for the reception on Tuesday, July 31 at City Hall on the ground floor.
Sincerely,
Meg Shiffler, SFAC Gallery Director
Thom Sempere, PhotoAlliance Executive Director
Oh well. Better luck next time. You can’t win if you don’t play, right?
